In August 2020, our Sail Training yacht Discovery will be taking part in the Mayflower Small Ships Race, organised by ASTO. This starts on Friday 14th Aug with a rendezvous in Southampton, followed by a practice race day, before the passage race to Dartmouth. On arrival there will be the usual crew parade and prize giving before the crew leaves on Friday 21st. This is a superb opportunity to race against a fleet of Sail Training vessels and enjoy the spectacle and atmosphere of a Small Ships Race. There will then be a one week cruise home from Dartmouth to our base near Southampton, possibly via the Channel Islands. If your Scouts / Explorers / Network group are interested in taking part in either the Race or the Cruise home please Contact Us
